Match Thread | Arsenal vs Man City (15/12/19)

[Blue Smarties]

I can kind of understand it, but I don’t really agree with it.

 

[TFC]

Great game Phil lad, let's get Bernie back up to speed now.

 

[mat]

Why is he taking Foden out?

Must be playing at Oxford. That's all I can think of?

 

[TINY]

Why is he taking Foden out?

He’s been ok, but 3rd best midfielder out there. Ran a lot though. Makes sense.

 

[colorado blue]

I’m okay with taking Phil off. He’s done okay and we have a lot of games coming up. I would not have brought Bernardo on though.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Someone explain that sub ????

 

[Alex - Not City Matters]

Strange considering that Pep hardly ever makes substitutes around the 55 minute mark. Presume Foden is playing on Wednesday then.

 

[pudge]

Fuck me, this Martinelli bloke is a moan

 

[super_city_si]

martinelli is a bit of a diving ****

 

[wattle]

Before people start having a fit - Phil will be playing on weds and played last weds. Sensible sub for me at 3-0 up and with Bernardo on the bench

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Happy enough with that sub given that Foden played the full 90 in the CL.

 

[oakiecokie]

Got to be a place for Garcia now

I`ve been shouting that for a fair few games ago.More than competent.

 

[abu13]

I am guessing that Pep has seen enough of Foden to decide he will be starting the next PL game, if he also starts against Oxford then that would be 4 consecutive starts.

 

[kaz7]

Phil might not be up to 2 whole games in a few days

 

[Ban-jani]

Foden must be playing Wednesday.

 

[Newman Noggs]

I'd love to see Bernie score. I can't remember seeing him smile since the media stitch up.

 

[TINY]

Someone explain that sub ????

So, a manager decides he wants to change things, he calls on a player that hasn’t played the game, he hasn’t started, he bring off a player that has played okay and is likely to start the next game. Those two players then swap, so basically one goes off and one goes on. You should read up fella.

 

[Ban-jani]

Ozil booed off

 

[OntarioBlue]

Bit of a strange change by Pep but what a good day for Bernie to play his way back into form.

 

[Blueknows]

ozil not happy as he gets subbed
